Drawing upon existing literature, this paper briefly discusses aspects of conspicuous consumption. Analysis of the construct has been done in the perspective of changing capitalist structure and dominating socio-philosophical ideologies, especially postmodernism. Effort has been made to extend the original concept and propose necessary refinement and integration of relevant concepts to enable a meaningful, holistic, and contemporary interpretation of the said construct. This paper examines different aspects of consumer behavior, helps to generate some important directions for future research in the field, and also discusses these issues in the context of the transitional socio-economic background of India.

We suggest that the structural replacement thesis, which proposes that managers in Chinese nonstate-owned enterprises (NSOEs) possess more government ties than managers in Chinese state-owned enterprises (SOEs), is theoretically incomplete because it considers only the motivation of managers of NSOEs. The extensiveness of social ties is influenced also by the capability and opportunity for social actors to cultivate these social ties. We introduce the structural inducement thesis, which holds that SOE managers have more government ties than do NSOE managers, as an alternative to the structural replacement thesis. Our analysis of 250 Chinese managers' ties supports this structural inducement thesis. The theoretical and applied implications of these findings are discussed.

Both in developed and developing countries, governments of all levels pay much attention to the weak industry-agriculture and try their best to find out the effective way to develop it. Cleaner production in agriculture is the effective way to realize sustainable development in China. According to the behavioral features of local governments and the actuality of agriculture development, the thesis holds that the realization of agricultural cleaner production depends on the interest games between economic bodies and perfect market system. Besides, set up the operation mechanism for agricultural products and factor markets will help the development of cleaner production. Local governments allocate the resources by controlling all kinds of markets. The thesis mainly discusses the local gov...
